This Spidey cake was actually very simple to do. I baked a rectangle cake and carved it to the shape I wanted. Then covered it with red fondant icing. I took a foam paint brush, about the size used to paint trim, and dipped it in water and went over the fondant to make it look kind of shiney. I cut out white fondant for the eyes.
Then I took a regular spatula and a spoon edge and made some creases to give it a sculptured look. Then I took black food color and a little sugar water and a small paint brush and painted black lines where needed.
Last I took a can of yellow frosting and the smallest round tip and made the web. This was for my sons 28th birthday. Just goes to show that they never grow out of it!
Good looking Spidey!!
